Hernandez & Hernández Collage on paper 25 x 35 cm

"The collage by two old friends plays off the iconic image of Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the podium at the Mexico City Olympic Games in 1968. The left-handed artists add humor to the historical reference. "

"It's a modified old portrait of Efrén Capiz Villegas, who was my grandmother's cousin but also a very well-known lawyer and founder of the Unión de Comuneros Emiliano Zapata, who spent some years in prison, for defending the poorest (the indigenous) people's rights."

Reverberation

"It is a synthesis of the resonance of the term Revolution, which today means to me: away from History, the fabrication of it, the blanked memories, manipulated. Revolution today is just the reverberation of our Present, the empty Present that we look to, facing to the Past, Revolution happens forwards and backwards in the diary."

Laureana Toledo

"1840. Buying straight from the factory is intelligent 1776. To the 13 boroughs (with a wink to the Beastie Boys) 1789. Marché (market in french, I marched in spanish) 1910. Hobby Centro 1917. Last allotment. Vacant"
